As a reminder, the first place to start your texting shift is by reading the #important_info Slack channel.

Our shared commitments: the Text Team pledge

As a volunteer on the MoveOn Text Team, you’ll become a key point of contact for hundreds, maybe thousands, of other MoveOn members and progressive voters. As such, we ask you to commit to these simple premises:

1. I will do whatever I can to help MoveOn members get better connected to each MoveOn campaign and will go the extra mile to get them information and encourage their engagement. I will always read the resources in our daily briefing in the #important_info channel in our shared workspace in Slack to prepare for my shift.

2. I understand that the way I respond matters and I will always respect the person with whom I’m communicating. I will always use language consistent with MoveOn’s values, and never use profanity or other questionable words or phrases that could reflect negatively on my important work.

3. I will always assume good faith and be constructive with my fellow volunteers and volunteer leaders.

4. I will try as much as possible to finish my contact list workflow during my shift and I will only text from the designated start until the designated end in the time zone I am texting. (The designated times are found daily in #important_info in Slack). If I receive late replies from my contacts I will reply the following day after the designated start time.

5. When signing up for shifts, I will be mindful of my availability on that day and not sign up if I will not be able to send texts as early in the day as required. If I am unable to make my scheduled shift, I will cancel, using the #current_shift channel in Slack.

6. After sending all my workflow for a day, I will check Spoke for replies to my texts often through the rest of that day and again a couple times the next day.

7. I will never text and drive!

8. If I have questions while texting, I will ask for help!

9. In accordance with federal law, when texting with MoveOn I will always send each text manually, never using devices such as auto clicker software.
